Conditions Change

If I have learned one thing in recent years, it is that the only constant in this world is CHANGE. Now, that may sound like an oxymoron to you (constant change), but to me, it makes perfect sense. Here are some examples...Our country's presidency is changing hands, we are into a change of seasons from Fall to Winter, our economy is ever-changing, our children contintue to grow and change, and on and on it goes. Change is EVERYWHERE and is in EVERYTHING. If people expect to grow and mature, in their thoughts, their actions, and their feelings, they must CHANGE.

So many people resist change, even abhor change. They try and hide from it, they push back from it, but no matter how hard they try, change finds them, and they must either roll with it, or die trying. Then there are those, like me, who long for change. I accept it, welcoming it with an open heart, open arms, and an open mind. I love the change in the seasons, the changes in the weather, and the change that new challenges bring my way. Change is something I thrive on. To those who feel that change is their enemy, or who fear it to the point of paralysis, I say ...

Conditions change all the time. What you could depend on yesterday, might very well be gone today. What once worked so well for you, will eventually fail to bring the results you seek. So when conditions change, you have the valuable opportunity to change along with them. Life by its very definition is always changing. People who make the most of life are those who expect the changes, welcome them, and find the positive possibilities in each one. When you see changes occurring, instead of making a judgment make a careful observation. You cannot stop the changes that are already taking place, so your best strategy is to find the opportunities that are embedded within them.
And those positive opportunities are most certainly there. Rather than being fearful of the changes, be curious, and you'll see the hidden value in those changes.
You can count on the fact that the world will continue to change. And you can always choose to take the actions that will make those changes be for the better.

Only then, will you find COMFORT in CHANGE.
